This thread is usually for English fubs...

But what about members whom have impressive encounters with English language?
Here's a clip of Nogizaka's Ando Mikumo speaking fluent English during the Confesta event!
At around the 41 sec mark:

In case you are wondering, methink she studies abroad before!
It a shame Nogizaka management do not make use of the many talented members in Nogizaka.

To be honest until now I have no idea whether any of AKB members can speak, write or even read English or not?

I only know a bit that Akimoto Sayaka seems to be able to write English and her English pronunciation seems to be good too.

How about other members?

Because to be honest, I can not read Japanese, except when there is some Kanji in the sentences so it's very hard for me to understand anything from their blog, websites, etc.

I can only listen very well and speak a bit, not fluent at all.

Is there any blog of AKB members that have English in them, I prefer if everything is in English?

Thank you in advance for anyone that can give me any info on above matter.

PS: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2013

Alot of the AKB members have English Google+ profiles translated by their staff(?).

Thank you WindCaliber.

I knew about the google+ but they seem not really active there at all.

eg. Oshima Yuko last entry was Dec 7, 2012, Takahashi Minami was Jun 6, 2012, Kojima Haruna was Dec 30, 2012 (once a day only), Itano Tomomi was Dec 17, 2012 and Minegishi Minami was Dec 25, 2012.

I know they have twitter right? I saw lots of entries there... but unfortunately for me, they were written in Japanese so I can not read them at all even if they are people asking me things I wouldn't have any ideas what they are saying at all.

Well it's okay... I just thought looking at their entries can be fun sometimes, killing my time during my breaks or when I have nothing to do.

I genuinely question if these girls know what they have written across their tops. Pretty sure Jurina's says "Hore's Act Heard" which is pretty suggestive and the other one is, well I don't think I need to explain

A small recent little gem from SKE48 land.
Churi and Annya attempts to read a fan letter sent from Taiwan. The catch? It's all written in English...
